Can't Use Windows Guest - Only Boots Into Host - 7.0.12

[VMTee]

I've been trying to figure this out for days now. The system only boots into the Host and doesn't show the Guest.

I downloaded Windows (iso file), configured everything correctly. I start the VM, inserted Guest Additions CD image, went to the folder, and downloaded the amd64 application. It didn't work. I proceed to try the regular VBoxWindowsAdditions, that didn't work. I tried clicking Device, Upgrade Guest Additions. Still didn't work. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I previously had everything functioning properly until I tried moving the folders, which ended up leaving parts of the files corrupted. I had to delete all of my previous work and start from the beginning. Now, the system doesn't seem to want to acknowledge Guest Additions.

According to the log, Guest Additions are installed and running:

00:00:14.683536 VMMDev: Guest Additions information report: Version 7.0.12 r159484 '7.0.12'
00:01:48.862255 VMMDev: Guest Log: All services started

What are you expecting to happen?

I added the Guest Additions so I could maximize the screen without having the grey outter box showing.

I've tried full screening, resizing, and going into Windows settings to make adjustments to the VM (all separately) but it makes the screen distorted along with bad screen resolution.

it makes the screen distorted along with bad screen resolution.

Sounds like you might be in Scaled Mode. Try tapping Host Key & C. Host Key defaults to Right CTRL.

Fixed the problem.
